The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

OK, Jim, you convinced me.

Here goes: sutton writes on I'm thinking this is the third time

I replied to your post, but since there are now a grand total of 2 posts on the Lilly board, I'll link to my post : DTB replies on I'm thinking this is the third time

.. and copy just my conclusion here:

Which one could be a homerun like Amazon or Apple? Definitely LLY/NVO - Berkshire is not going to be up 10 times, 10 years from now. But there is also a huge downside that is also possible for these 2 drug companies whose value is almost entirely supported by semaglutide and tirzepatide. I wouldn't be at all surprised that Berkshire is up 20% in 5 years and LLY/NVO are down by 50% - in fact, that may be the most likely scenario.
